159: Still On The Ledge

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to memorialize Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and discuss this week’s legal news.  First, they look at the latest developments in Trump’s cases including the rejection of his trial dismissal attempt, his renewed gag order, and a court ruling that he is civilly liable for the events of January 6th.  Then, they cover the ruling to stop private action under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and debate how the Supreme Court would weigh in, before pivoting to a SEC case heard by SCOTUS that could weaken the administrative state by remanding SEC judgements to federal juries.Get your #SistersInLaw gear or the perfect gift at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: [email protected] or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastPlease Support This Week’s SponsorsAura Frames:Give the perfect gift this holiday season when you visit AuraFrames.com and get $30 off their best-selling frames with the code SISTERSAura: Take your family’s cybersecurity to the highest level.  Get a 14 day trial plus a check of your data to see if your personal information has been leaked online for FREE when you visit aura.com/sistersKitsch:Update your style with 30% off your order when you go to mykitsch.com/sistersOSEA Malibu: Get 10% off your order of clean beauty products from OSEA Malibu when you go to oseamalibu.com and use promo code: SILMentioned By The #Sisters:From Kim on the conservative attack on the Voting Rights ActGet Barb’s New Book: Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging AmericaGet More From #SistersInLawJoyce Vance: Twitter | University of Alabama Law | MSNBC | Civil Discourse SubstackJill Wine-Banks: Twitter | Facebook | Website | Author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth & Justice Against A Criminal PresidentKimberly Atkins Stohr: Twitter | Boston Globe | WBUR | Unbound NewsletterBarb McQuade: Twitter | University of Michigan Law | Just Security | MSNBC
